The soccer players of FC Bayern Munich keep rushing from victory to victory.

The team of coach Jens Scheuer prevailed 6: 0 (2: 0) in the women's Bundesliga in the women's Bundesliga at bottom of the league, MSV Duisburg, and thus celebrated their 25th success in their 25th competitive game.

In doing so, they continue to expand their record series.

Already in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against the Swedish record champions FC Rosengard on Wednesday, the footballers broke the record of their male colleagues with the 24th win in a row.

In coach Hansi Flick's triple season last year, he won 23 games in a row with the men of FC Bayern.

Despite the absence of regular players such as Giulia Gwinn, Carina Schlüter and Kristin Demann, they lead the league table with 51 points and a goal difference of 68: 3, the lead over second-placed VfL Wolfsburg is still five points.

But champions and cup winners Wolfsburg also won away from relegation candidate SC Sand 3-1 (2-0) - and thus kept his small championship chance.

The two German Champions League teams achieved a perfect dress rehearsal for the quarter-finals second legs in the premier class.

Bayern have now scored 103 goals across all competitions, which corresponds to an average rate of just over four goals per game.

This season, the German national player Lea Schüller stands out in particular.

The 23-year-old has scored 17 goals in the last ten competitive games - of which she managed a five-pack in the cup against Walddörfer SV Hamburg (13-0).

On Thursday in the Champions League second leg in Malmö and on April 4 in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup against Wolfsburg, they can further expand their record series.

The triple of Champions League, Cup and League is still possible - they have never succeeded.
